I would appreciate your opinion if those are genuine and what exactly they are. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

The Maundy series from Charles II's reign have a funny denomination system - there are exactly as many C letters in the monogram as there are pence in the denomination. The monogram on the 3 pence looks a lot like a radiation symbol. (I think the penny just has the one C - not sure. Fairly sure about 2, 3 and 4 though.) Both coins look geniune to me (though mostly because they're too common to fake - especially the Polish one), and both are indeed silver, but in such damaged condition, neither would be worth very much (maybe a few dollars each).

No, you're right, it might be Austrian. It was worn, and looked a lot like some Polish coins I've seen, but the place where I thought it said Poland might actually say Leopold. I'll try to look it up later. EDIT: appears to be Breslau, Silesia, Bohemia. Um, I guess that's in Poland now? Took me a while to find a match though - not on Numista, apparently not on NGC, and not in Krause preview (the page is missing). Edited by january1may 05/26/2017 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rekinek999 New Member Czech Republic 32 Posts	Posted 05/26/2017 5:46 pm Silesia is in Poland but at that time it was ruled by Habsburgs. Leopold I was the ruler therefore it would be a match. It's great to learn I have such old addition to my collection from my own country and the other one from the country I live in Report this Post to the Staff
